The instructor discusses various types of padel smashes and their appropriate usage. The video covers both defensive and attacking overheads, starting with defensive smashes like the banda, a short block used to regain net position, and the vibora, an attacking slice smash kept low to maintain net position.
The instructor also touches upon the Top Spin Smash, which can be played defensively or aggressively, and the Gano, a defensive overhead played when the lob goes over your left shoulder. The instructor stresses the importance of learning overheads correctly and encourages viewers to focus on one at a time, avoid learning from uncoached sources, and seek personalized coaching or video analysis through ThePadelSchool.com.
